Cowboys reach 2yr deal w/ LB Jasper Brinkley

[Joe Realist]

This year's Durant!!!

 

[NeonNinja]

Who needs an extra 3rd when we signed Brinkley ? He's the next Ray Lewis

How does this signing take away the possible third received from losing Murray?

 

[PoundTheRock]

There goes our comp picks.

Seriously. If they're gonna sign JAGS, sign JAGS that were cut.

You are just a ray of sunshine today arent ya?

When your owner (or owner's son) issues a statement about a guy leaving in free agency you know they are in full damage control mode.

We didn't give him a two year deal for nothing . Dudes gonna play. They met with Mcclain yesterday nothing came of it. Cowboys moving on.

From what i heard it was a short phone call to his agent. What do i know though

Scary and not in a good way. By week 8 lee will be done and Mcclain will retire.

If the Guy wanted to play and dallas wanted him he'd be here already

Or maybe they are issuing the statement because Murray was the biggest FA we had? The sky isnt falling. Its the 4th day of FA for cripes sake. Lemme guess, we are going to go 3-13 this season? The FO the past 3 years has been doing well. And with McClay dealing with the draft board, I am not worried....Yet

They've given out lots of 2 yr deals over the last few years, most have low to zero guaranteed money so they can walk away without eating more dead money. They aren't done with McClain by a long shot, if someone else wanted him it would've been reported by now.

CowboysZone: Where depth signings are met with derision.

Or they know that no one else wants him or his baggage and they are waiting for his price to drop down. Your screen name sure suits your attitude

Seriously. If they're gonna sign JAGS, sign JAGS that were cut.

If they are under 1m they don't count and if they do count they knock off the comparable salaried guys first

 

[Rogerthat12]

what else could it be?

Who knows at this point.

Vikings fans called him Casper, as in the ghost, because his presence was not felt on the field...yikes!

 

[Wolfpack]

Did Jerry use the Groupon code on this one?

Brillant.

Pretty lacklustre crew behind a mediocre Dline. Not a good combo.

Good to know.

 

[manster4ever]

Mcclain isn't coming back .

correct

 

[Avery]

I remember really liking this guy coming out of college and then never heard from him again.
